Connected Cannabis Co

This company has spent the last 2 years reducing their financial overhead by paying their workers steadily lower and lower wages. They do this by limiting hours per employee, hiring more employees than needed (to reduce overtime opportunities) and systemically targeting "problem" employees (people that won't take this agenda laying down) until they quit. All of this to expand and become more corporate without any of the corporate infrastructure.

You will never have a voice in this company that preaches "being a family not a company". This is not a company that you "move up" in, yes, you can transfer to different departments, but you are essentially starting all over again experience and pay wise. Even supervisors with 5+ years at the company have openly admitted to being powerless to the will of senior management decisions.

In my position, I rarely had a schedule that didn't change 4-5 times through the week with virtually no heads-up. You are expected to constantly be checking you schedule when not at work. So naturally, you can't plan your week outside of work, because you don't know if you going to the Bay area or as far as Arcata tomorrow.

This is not a job you build a career at. If you need a job right now and have little experience, you are a prime candidate. They want someone who doesn't know any better, someone who will think "welp, guess that's how it's is". They want to you to think you dont deserve better than they offer, because financially it makes more sense for them.

I was in distribution packing cannabis into jars. A typical day consists of packing cannabis into jars, printing and placing labels onto jars, and sometimes repackaging product because it was improperly labeled or packaged.

I learned a lot about METRC (Marijuana Enforcement Tracking Reporting Compliance) which was useful knowledge in the industry.

Management is hit or miss, I was lucky and 3 out oy my 4 managers were easy to work with.

The hardest part of the job was not getting frustrated at the amount of "rework" that had to be done due to avoidable problems such as improperly labeling and packaging.

The most enjoyable part of the job is you get to listen to music while you work, the job itself is rather boring.

Overall
My experience working at Connected Cannabis Co was amazing. I learned a lot of useful information in regards to cultivation in specific, aslo established lots of very good friend ships and business relationships as well. Overall great experience.

Poor communication through managment and a lack of care for employees well-being on top a stressful environment is the recipe for every day problems.

Government warning labels are constantly printed with the wrong information causing a lot of stressful re-work.

 We are informed of schedule changes last second, which are often. One week will be manditory overtime 11 hour shifts, then next week will be less than 20 hours total.

They took the chairs away because they said employees were getting too comfortable so we have to stand for a job that is much easier to accomplish sitting.

Advancing in the company is strictly favorism so there is no incentive to work harder.

I hate writing this review cuz I honestly loved working there. Some of my co workers were some of the best people I’ve worked with. & the product is obviously top notch, just not the prices. But on the other hand, they are VERY quick to discard anyone and everyone, no matter who you are or what you do for them. You can break your back for them, show up any time they call you last minute to cover for someone else, get great reviews and be really good at your job… if they feel like letting you go because they did a mass hire of people who don’t even know what they’re doing, or because of a mistake THE MANAGERS made and don’t want to take responsibility for, you’re gone faster than you could blink.

Most stressfull thing ti be completely and fully honest. Like any facilities within this industry...The state lol inspection always stressful times 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very diverse, but understanding and caring. Everyone deserves their best to be kindhearted to one another

What is the best part of working at the company?
All the people coming in. And all the choices of brands to choose from is great ! The prices they have in general and the weed that’s stocked here makes me feel good about selling weed here to people

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When there’s a rush and you need management to do something for you sale/store wise. They’re usually also with someone (hence rush) so it gets tricky getting them to help right away. 
Also some customers that come in are not the friendliest…..they haven’t had their “meds”  yet

It was a fantastic place to work until it wasn’t. HR and management touts that they’re working on company culture yet consistently give passes to certain employees with bad behavior while cracking down on others. Saw many things get overlooked or ignored when brought up to management, yet others getting penalized for utilizing PTO and sick time when needed. If you keep your head down, and never voice dissent or call out, the benefits are great, they have great products and I enjoyed the people I worked with there. Definitely has a team with some hard workers on it. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The coworkers and making sure the bud is trimmed nice and neat . Quality is better than QUANTITY 🤞🏾

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing is stressful about this job at all. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great environment to work in . Doesn’t matter about the culture EVERYBODY'S TREATED EQUALLY 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Everyday is great for em . Never a dull or boring day

There was rarely a day where everything went smoothly. Something was always wrong, like not having enough bags/containers to weigh the cannabis into, or the management printed incorrect information on the state compliance labels so after stickering hundreds of bags/containers, would have to go back and re-sticker them all. The most enjoyable part of the job was the 50% off of outdoor grown cannabis discount and 40% off concentrates discount for being an employee.
